The New Kings Chords

(ver. 1)
Marillion
Am G Fmaj7 Gsus4 (x2)

Am                    G
We are the new kings 
Fmaj7               Gsus4
Sailing our seas of diamonds and gold 
Am                    G 
We are the new kings 
Fmaj7            Gsus4
Seldom seen, elsewhere and unknown 
Dm                    C/E
We are the new kings 
F                     G
Buying up London from Monaco 
   Dm                C/E
We do as we please 
          F                  Gsus4
While you do as you're told 

     F#m          E
f**k everyone and run 
     D            E
f**k everyone and run 
     F#m          E/G#
f**k everyone and run 
     D            E
f**k everyone and run

Am                 G
Tony, not Anthony 
Fmaj7             Gsus4
Suitably masked 
Am                 G
Nassau, Bahamas, Geneva, Luxembourg 
Fmaj7              Gsus4
No questions asked 
    Dm                  C/E
Our world orbits yours 
    F                G 
And enjoys the view 
          Dm                      C/E
From this height we don't see the slums and the bums on the street 
       F                 Gsus4
Or the mums on the game 

     F#m          E
f**k everyone and run 
     D            E
f**k everyone and run 
     F#m          E/G#
f**k everyone and run 
     D            E
f**k everyone and run

We sold your council houses, not to you, but the banks 
Cm                       Ab
Up in the stratosphere - wielding the knife 
Gm             Fm
While you said thanks

Oceans of money high in the clouds 
Gm                           Fm              Cm
But if you hang around, more often than not, it'll trickle down...
